Hospital Performance

The Truven Health Analytics™ 100 Top Hospitals® outperform their peers by demonstrating balanced excellence—operating effectively across all functional areas of their organizations. The data demonstrates how both patients' health and hospitals' bottom lines could be improved. Based on comparisons between the study winners and a peer group of similar high-volume hospitals that were not winners, the study found that if all hospitals performed at the level of this year's winners, nearly 165,000 additional lives could be saved, more than 90,000 additional patients could be complication-free, $5.4 billion could be saved, and the typical patient could be released from the hospital half a day sooner.
